A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Okay but are you really going to discuss it or are you just going to praise the CCP?

I genuinely live in an area where I can at least try to do something to get the attention of 1% type people. Thats my goal, hopefully in conjunction with other local people. Even if its as simple as having QR code stickers directing to the community around town to start. I figure the name is provocative enough in practically being an oxymoron

The community at large obviously is mostly for discussion of wealth inequality, and also ideas for stuff we could do locally would be great if anyone thinks of anything.

Also, IMO, capping net worth at $12B is hardly communism. If anything its capitalism with the bumper guards up

Seems to me loke you would rather live in a fascist society that stayss fundamentally the same as our current system, minus undesirable minorities than concede an inch to any leftists.

China's not left, it's another authoritarian government that claims its flavor is slightly different than fascism. Also tone down the racism, Tankie.

You're the one who went off about the CCP in a conversation about wealth inequality. Wealth distribution is an inherently leftist concept, and you attached it to the CCP.
